Two Freight Trains Collide and the wr ch
Cstches Ftre- Very Heavy Loss 70 the
Pennoylynnla.


Catches Fire Very Heavy Loss 70 the
Pennsylvania.
A very destructive freight wreck occurred
at Dillerville, on the Pennsylvania railroad,
Monday night About ten o'clock the train
drawn BY engine 1913 pulled over from the
Columbia track to the track leading to this
city. Just east Of the station the train stopped
to do some shifting. There Ii considerable
OF . grade towards the west at this point
and ~ the train WAS heavy the engine was
not able to bold It The cars ran back to the
cut OIL track and just xt that time an eastern
bound freight train drawn by engine $40
came along. The rear OF the train on the
Lancaster track ran into the other, causing
tn wreck, which was one Of the worst seen
In the vicinity for some time. Three OF the
cars on the train Of engine $40 were loaded
with coal oil and they took IRE from the
lamps in the csboose OF the other train. In
few minutes the oil oars and four others
on the same train, loaded with flour and
feed, were in blsze Tho engineer Of $40
had great presence OF mind, and when he
saw that big fire was Inevitable he quickly
ran the train up the cutoff some distance be-
yond the reach OF the buildings or bridges.
There the fire burned furiousIy sll night, and
the cars with their contents were com pletely
destroyed. The csboose and one car of engine
19s, was also burned while lying near
the station. The fire made great light and
burned 80 brightly that an alarm was struck
In this city. The department quickly
responded and ran their apparatus to the
place, but were unable 70 do anything. If 1t
had been possible for them to get stream on
the tire 1t Ii doubtful whether they would
have been able 70 do any good, ~ the fire had
gained such great hesdwsy. This morn
ing there was nothing left of the cars but the
wheels and other iron parts, and the contents
had been swept away. The ties of the track
were burned at the place and the tracks for
some distance were 30 badly damaged that
they will have to be taken up and replaced.
The south track was blocked until shortly
before noon, and trains were obliged to pull
around tho wreck. A large force OF men
were kept st work on the wreck all night
and have been there the whole OF to-day.
The loss 70 the railroad company will be very
heavy.
a Slight wreck.
This morning another wreck occurred at
Dillerville, but did not do . great deal OF
damage. The trains were running on the
north track on account OF the big wreck.
Engine No. 22s and one car jumped the track
and were slightly damaged. They blocked
the track for time.

A Misery Mans Luck.

Provcrbially considered, the statement
that it never rains but it pours and that
water runs 70 the sea express different
phases OF Ire same truth, and this par
ticularly rgational, inexplicable truth
tate spcE.i her time In demonstrating.
For instance, take two things that have
happened to one rich, solitary old man In
this town within two weeks. His name
Is well known, though his enormous for
tune is not generally estimated at its
true proportions; be does not live like .
rich mans bit of a miser, in fact but
as numbers of people know, IS tho pos
SCISSOR OF numerous millions. He works
hard, as his work Is the only thing he
takes an interest in, and his ouly recrea-
ton, taken at the doctors orders, is horse
back riding in the park
To strangers he likes to put up poor
mouth, for one thing. for the simple pleas
ure of seeing them fooled, and he recently
told business acquaintance that he was
too poor TO have good horse; the bust
ness acquaintance was rich Kentuckian,
not rich as compared to the other, but
rich for Kentucky. Touched by the old
mans bad mount, o thing that seemed
more tragic to him than IL would TO any
but kentuckian, he presented him with
superb saddle horse, son OF Golddust,
perfectly trained and worth small for
tune. A week later an old Californian,
whom the old sinner had not thought Of
In twenty years, but whom he had known
In his youth, and who lad grown misan-
thropical with old age and hated every
body around him, DIES and leaves said o.
S. another enormous fortune. What is to
be said for world where such things be!

'When do you sail, captain?" queried
Deputy Shipping Commissioner Ferris of
the master of q Maine schooner.
"Guess I'll get Off on Friday" he
replied.
10 the superstitious land lubber OF re-
porter present this appeared like an I'M
orthodox statement, so he asked Deputy
Ferris, himself an old sailor for many
years, If modern seamen had entirely re-
covered from their old scare of setting
sail on Friday. The reporter broke into
the first stanZa of the old sea song:
Twas Friday night when we set sail,
And twas rot very far from the Land
When tAe captain spied jolly mermaid,
With . comb and . S.ass in her hand.
"Wen," responded Ferris, ~ can't
say that tie superstition is entirely CONC
from seafaripg men, but tho great major
ity Of both sailing masters and crews
don't pay the slightest attention to that
day, so ominous TO tradition. When
they're ready with load they go at the
most favorable wind, Friday CT no Friday,
but we do meet with sailors now
and then who couldn't be induced
to leave port OF Friday, Just Us
you still run across thousands OF
landSmen who never undertake any Of

these sailors hail from nations like Sweden,
Denmark and Germany, where old super
stitions have still strong hold ON the
people: but American tarS don't mind

Slow Arsenicai Poisoning.

! have read great deal in the papers
about slow poisoning processes, but only
believed the various statements when
they were brought homo to me. My
wife, who had been remarkable for her
rugged health and rosy appearance, began
to fado away. She dwindled to mere
shadow, aud yet she reiterated statements
Of good health. Finally, / insisted on
calling in q doctor of high standing, after
an emphatic protest from our regular
physician. 4 long diagnosis decided that
my wife was suffering from arsenical
poisoning drawn into the system from a
cheap set of false teeth, which had been
purchased about a week before the first
symptoms of weakness had been observed.
Arsenic had been used in the enamel TO
secure the glittcriug whitencss so much
admired by women, and in the process Of
mastication small particles had been alb
sorbed in the food and taken into the
stomach, where the insidious work of
destruction vas progressing surely TO
fatal termination. / don't know how
many cases Of the kind may exist, but
from the fact that half o dozen medical
men were baffled in their attempted dag
uosis, would not be surprised II thou

DEVELOPMENT of the Trutfer.

Senator Daniel, Of Virginia. Ike many
other southern men, IS an admirer and
lover Of fine hcrsedesh. He was going
the other day to run over 70 the tTotting
races ct Hartford when he said: 1T must
eventually come about that the trottin9
races will be popular, because it is In this
gait that the horse combines utility with
speedy action. It is rs the roadster that
the horse is most available FOR pleasure
and practical service. In recent article
written by Judge Hughes, Of Richmond,
saw theory advanced in reference to
the development IN the trotting gait which

The thoroughbred animal Is 10 he found
on the gre1. plains and level stretches Of
the country, where his natural gait Ia

thinks, comes to the animal as he is trans
fcrred 10 undulating countries, where he
is obliged to adapt his footing 10 rising
and falling thorouGhfares. That would
